I knew that he was schooling in the paddock during the first 3 races that same day so I assumed it was him. He is impressive to look at. Guess it might not have been.

Pics can look very different, too - I'll go see him in person. If you knew he was schooling, that had to be him, I didn't see any others around.

And if that was him, he was very impressive looking - maybe 1 race away?

Orthodox might win as lone speed

I'll pass the whole Turfway card,though

West Side Bernie should cruise. Had no chance as speed ran 1-2 around the track in the Holy Bull, and speed ran 1-2-3 around the track in the BC Juvenile yet he was making up ground. Turfway never seems to favor the speed types.

I don't really get the love affair here with West Side Bernie. I could see him run fourth almost as easily as I can see him run winning.
